You get 120 vegan capsules per container, gluten-free, lactose-free, and GMO-free. This page quietly explains what the capsule contains, what the extraction ratios mean, and what role vitamin B1 plays in this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the formula contains\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeart Essentials combines five plant extracts with coenzyme Q10 and vitamin B1. The five extracts are Arjuna bark extract (10:1, standardized to 0.5% arjunolic acid), citrus bergamot peel extract (5:1, 30% polyphenols), horse chestnut seed extract (10:1, 20% aescin), olive leaf extract (20:1, 40% oleuropein), and Japanese knotweed root extract (100:1, 98% trans-resveratrol). Each of these substances is a plant extract with its own origin and composition. Arjuna comes from the bark of Terminalia arjuna, a tree from India. Bergamot is the peel of a citrus fruit from southern Italy. Horse chestnut provides the saponin aescin, and olive leaf contains the plant substance oleuropein. What many don't know: the percentages behind each extract primarily indicate the standardization, i.e., the guaranteed amount of the characteristic plant substance. Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble substance that your body also produces itself. Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin normally obtained from grains, legumes, and meat, and is added here in the form of thiamine hydrochloride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an extraction ratio like 10:1 means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a 10:1 extract, ten times more plant material was used than what results in extract. For 1000 mg of 10:1 Arjuna extract, approximately 10,000 mg of bark were processed. This ratio, combined with the standardization percentage, makes it easier to compare formulas with each other. In short: two containers with the same number of milligrams of extract can still differ because one is standardized to a higher percentage of active substance than the other. In Heart Essentials, these figures are listed separately on the label, per ingredient. This way, you see exactly how much arjunolic acid, polyphenols, aescin, oleuropein, and trans-resveratrol you consume per daily dose, without having to calculate it yourself. For those who use botanical formulas for months on end, this transparency is valuable, as you then want a consistent composition from one container to the next. When comparing botanical formulas, therefore, do not just look at the number of milligrams, but also at the extraction ratio and the percentage of active substance, because these two figures combined determine what your capsule actually contains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin B1 in this formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to plant extracts and coenzyme Q10, each daily dose contains 1.1 mg of vitamin B1, in the form of thiamine hydrochloride. This represents 100% of the reference intake. Vitamin B1 is one of the few substances in this formula for which officially authorized claims exist. Thiamine contributes to the normal function of the heart. Thiamine contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Furthermore, thiamine contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. These claims apply to the vitamin B1 in the product, not to the plant extracts. For the botanical ingredients in this formula, we cannot currently mention any actions, as their evaluation in the EU is still ongoing. This is why you only read above and in the frequently asked questions what these extracts are and how they are standardized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage, capsule, and composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daily dose is 2 times 2 capsules, preferably with a meal containing some fat. Coenzyme Q10 and some plant substances are fat-soluble, so taking them with a meal is suitable. One container contains 120 capsules, which is 30 daily doses. The capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), making Heart Essentials suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It contains no gluten, no lactose, and no GMOs. Many people wonder why four capsules a day are necessary. This is because the formula combines eight ingredients in useful quantities; by distributing the intake over four capsules, each capsule remains manageable, and you can spread out the intake. This gives you a clear formula in which you see exactly, per ingredient, what it contains. Store the container dry and tightly closed, and keep it out of reach of children. If you are taking anticoagulants or other medications, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor before starting this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, Heart Essentials is a broad combination of five standardized plant extracts, coenzyme Q10, and vitamin B1, in 120 vegan capsules. Vitamin B1 provides 100% of the reference intake, and the extracts are transparently listed on the label with their ratio and percentage. For those looking for such a formulated product with a clear structure, you now know exactly what the capsule contains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386118480100,"sku":"gen-108","price":25.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/HeartEssentialsGEN.jpg?v=1783855276","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/gen-heart-essentials-120-gelules","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
